Happy 9th Birthday Elisee-piecee!

Thursday, March 24th--9 years old!?!?!? When did that happen?!?!?! Elise has spent months BEGGING for a "friends" birthday party. Because we have so much family nearby we usually don't do friend partys but this year we gave in. On her actual birthday we celebrated in the morning by getting donuts, which she enjoyed a lot (she must get her love of maple bars from the Armstrong side because I think they are really yucky!). We let her open her gifts from us as well. She got a new hula hoop (from Brady), clothes, Zoobles (she's obsessed over these and I didn't even know what they were!), and a butterfly garden. As a surprise, Elise came home to new sheets and a new bedspread that matches her room perfectly. She loved the bedding! After school we let her pick one of her favorite restaurants to meet up with my sister and her family. Elise's pick: Golden Corral. Hooray for a buffet where my picky kids will actually eat their moneys worth! ha ha ha ha Golden Corral is quite close to a place where I wanted to order Elise's cake: The Chocolate. Their cakes are amazing so it worked out perfectly to order and then pick up after we ate. It was a great night! Elise received some adorable outfits perfect for our upcoming trip to our favorite place (you know the one!). Thanks Aunt Alishia!Happy Birthday to my sweet girl, Elise! We love you so much and we're so proud of you!
Tomorrow, the friends party........give me strength! ; )
